Bertrand Martin commented on DOXIA-617:
---------------------------------------
So, no, the YAML header parsing is not enabled. The trickiest part will be the
backward compatibility with the "old" syntax (without the {{---}} dashes). If
we could manage to remove the code that currently handles the header section,
that would be awesome. We would detect the old syntax header, and we would
surround it with dashes so that it's handled automatically with Flexmark's YAML
parser.
> doxia-module-markdown: Add support for --- header section marks
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DOXIA-617
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIA-617
> Project: Maven Doxia
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Module - Markdown
> Reporter: Bertrand Martin
> Priority: Major
>
> h1. Use Case
> It is "generally" accepted that document header metadata in Markdown (like
> _title_, _author_, etc.) must be specified inside a header section, delimited
> with 3 hypens:
> {noformat}
> ---
> title: My Doc Title
> author: Myself
> keywords: great,doc
> ---
> # Introduction
> ...
> {noformat}
> See:
> * https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/html-document.html
> * https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block
> * https://github.com/vsch/flexmark-java/wiki/Extensions#yaml-front-matter
> Currently, the only supported syntax for document header metadata is the very
> same as above, but *without* the 3 hypens marking the header section:
> {noformat}
> title: My Doc Title
> author: Myself
> keywords: great,doc
> # Introduction
> ...
> {noformat}
> h1. Specification
> Enable the YAML Front Matter Extension of Flexmark so that such header is
> processed automatically (nothing to code here!)
> Keep the default behavior (we want backward compatibility) with the parsing
> of metadatas (which won't be affected by the YAML Front Matter parsing).
> h1. Doc
> Update the documentation on how to use Markdown in Doxia. This feature
> (document metadata) is currently not documented.
> We should have a small guide on how to use Markdown in Doxia, and its
> specific features (metadatas, macros, etc.)
> h1. Test
> Add corresponding unit tests and integration tests (for both old and new
> syntaxes)
